TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention generally relates to medicine and the medical treatment of infections with vaccines, antibiotics and anti-viral drugs. In alternative embodiments, provided are methods for treating, ameliorating, decreasing the chances of having any adverse effects from, decreasing the severity of adverse effects from, or preventing an infection by administration of an antibiotic and/or an anti-viral drugs and a vaccine directed to a causative agent of the infection and/or an inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or a live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection. In alternative embodiments, the infection is bacterial, parasitic or viral. In alternative embodiments, the viral infection is a coronavirus infection such a Covid-19 or Covid-19 variant infection. In alternative embodiments, methods as provided herein prevent or decrease the prevalence or severity of “vaccine breakthrough infections” after vaccination, where mutants of the infection's causative agent develop and infect patients in spite of the fact that they have undergone immunization, for example, to prevent a Covid-19 infection. In alternative embodiments, methods as provided herein are used to prevent in vivo mutations of an infectious agent to enhance to efficacy of an administered vaccination; in other word, methods as provided herein are used to prevent in vivo replication of a viral infectious agent, and thus also prevents mutations of the viral infectious agent because where there is no replication of infectious agent there is no mutation of infectious agent. In alternative embodiments, methods comprising administration of a combination of an antiviral medication, drug or treatment such as PF-07321332 or PAXLOVID™ and/or ritonavir and a vaccine prevents acquisition of externally mutated viruses infecting the vaccinated person, as well as preventing replication in those possessing less effective neutralising antibodies to the mutants.

BACKGROUND

The process of immunization attempts to create immunity to prevent acquisition of the new coronavirus or viruses. However, there is ongoing mutation occurring in the surrounding population because of ongoing replication of viruses. Hence, “vaccine breakthrough” infections are becoming reported, for example, see Hacisuleyman et al., New Eng J Med, Apr. 21, 2021. If the vaccine creates immunity to only the strains it was created for, it may permit ‘reinfection’ with Covid-19 of a mutant strain inhaled by the immunized person. This is termed “Vaccine breakthrough’. Within the immunized person replication of an external infectious mutant can take place because the vaccine alone is inadequate to control the mutant replicating and the mutant strain may further mutate in this seemingly safely immunized subject.

With COVID-19, there has been a rush into development of vaccines that could prevent the disease. However, the nature of this infection, being an intracellular RNA type of virus, does not result in an easy development of a vaccine. There are vaccines which work, for example, small pox, tetanus, polio, or measles, and there are conditions where vaccines are of little use, for example, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and tuberculosis (TB), and then there are vaccines which only give partial immunization and for a short period of time, such as for example influenza virus immunization and more recently malaria immunization attempts.

Currently used mRNA vaccines as well as non-mRNA vaccines are manufactured by different companies such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson (Janssen), Sputnik V, NovaVax, Sinovac, Sinopharm, Biological E, Valneva, EpiVac Corona, Convidiciae, Covaxin and others. All have been subject to various local side effects such as a swollen arm, systemic side effects such as fever, aches and pains, overwhelming feeling of doom, discomfort, profound tiredness and other symptoms. A small percentage of patients develop thrombocytopenia and clotting which is reminiscent of disseminated intravascular coagulation as described by some, as well as neurologic, dermatologic, cardiac and other adverse effects.

The preventative success of mRNA vaccines has been reported to be up to 90% or more. However, in real life experience data in some countries has shown results of 50% to 90% efficacy. Some of these reduced efficacy levels may be due to mutants being present in that population. Unless vaccine manufacturers can predict the development of specific mutations, which is virtually impossible, the vaccine market will always suffer from such reduced efficacy in various regions of the world.

Because of the ongoing mutations around the world of COVID-19, there are multiple strains, including a current India strain, which has caused super-infections in patients who have been immunized, i.e., the so-called vaccine breakthrough phenomenon. The B.1.617 variant of the Covid-19, known more commonly as the double mutant strain, was first detected in India in October 2020. As the name suggests, the strain involves two variants of the virus. The E484Q mutation has characteristics of a previously detected variant—the E484K—which was seen in the fast-spreading Brazilian and South African variants, making it highly transmissible. The L452R mutation, on the other hand, helps the virus evade the body's immune response. The double mutation strain was subsequently named B.1.617

Yet it is clear that the virus had to replicate to mutate. Hence the adage “if it cannot replicate it cannot mutate”. Hence, one simple solution to the problem of imperfect vaccine disease prevention is not a bigger and better vaccine or multiple vaccinations because we will never keep up with the mutations. The best solution may well be prevention of mutations. Yet it is clear that the virus had to replicate to mutate. And subsequently replicate in the immunized person. Hence the adage “if it cannot replicate it cannot mutate”.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In alternative embodiments, provided are methods for treating, ameliorating, decreasing the chances of having any adverse effects from, decreasing the severity of adverse effects from, or preventing an infection in an individual in need thereof, including humans and animals, by administration of an antibiotic and/or an anti-viral drugs and a vaccine directed to a causative agent of the infection, and/or an inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection. In alternative embodiments, the infection (or causative agent of the infection) is parasitic, bacterial or viral. In alternative embodiments, the viral infection is a coronavirus infection such a Covid-19 infection.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein prevent or decrease the prevalence or severity of “vaccine breakthrough infections” after vaccination, where external mutants of the infection's causative agent develop and infect or re-infect patients in spite of the fact that they have undergone immunization, for example, to prevent a Covid-19 infection. Thus, in alternative embodiments, methods as provided herein comprise combining an effective anti-microbial (for example anti-viral) treatment (for example, a drug or a mixture of drugs or other therapeutics) with an anti-microbial vaccine to prevent in vivo mutations (and thus also prevent a vaccine breakthrough infection) of an infectious agent such as virus, for example, a coronavirus such as COVID-19 or variant thereof.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein provide a solution to the problem of imperfect vaccine disease prevention, where a bigger and/or better vaccine or multiple vaccinations are ineffective because science will never keep up with the continuing viral mutations. In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein prevent replication of newly-inhaled mutants in the already vaccinated or ‘about to be vaccinated’ population.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein comprise an added anti-replication method of treatment in addition to vaccination to protect the immunized population from mutants entering, replicating, and further mutating in the immunized population. In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein prevent replication and thus prevent an ongoing viral mutation, a method utilized by the mutant to escape neutralizing antibodies and destruction. No replication, no mutation.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein comprise combining an effective anti-microbial (for example anti-viral) treatment (for example, a drug or a mixture of drugs or other therapeutics) with an anti-microbial vaccine such as a DNA vaccine such as an adenovirus-based vaccine, an mRNA vaccine, a peptide-based vaccine, an inactivated pathogen-based vaccine, and/or an vaccine manufactured by:

Hence, methods as provided herein that combine antibiotic, anti-parasitic and/or anti-viral treatment with an inactivated or attenuated causative agent of an infection, or a vaccine or a live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection (for example, a live or attenuated virus) administration, can treat, ameliorate or prevent a vaccine-breakthrough infection, as well as eradicating the infection if present pre-vaccination enhance protection and eradicate infection.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provide herein comprise administering in coordination with (for example, before, during and/or after) an anti-causative agent vaccination, or an anti-viral vaccination, and/or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection (such as a live or attenuated virus) administration, any one or combination of anti-viral, anti-parasitic or anti-bacterial therapies, for example, one or more anti-COVID-19 infection medications or drugs, including for example, the drug ivermectin, or the combination of ivermectin and an antibiotic with anti-viral properties such as doxycycline or azithromycin, for example the combination of ivermectin and doxycycline or azithromycin, or the combination ivermectin and doxycycline or azithromycin and zinc or any zinc salt (an anti-viral mineral, for example, and anti-COVID-19 mineral), which optionally also can be administered in conjunction or coordination with a vitamin or vitamins such as vitamin D and/or vitamin C.

In alternative embodiments, a drug combination administered in coordination with a vaccine and/or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection (optionally a live or attenuated virus) administration comprises the commencement, optionally orally or by inhalation, of the antiviral combination before, or just before, and/or the day (day zero) the vaccine and/or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection (such as a live or attenuated virus) administration is given. For example, in alternative embodiments, the patient (or individual in need thereof) is given a pre-vaccine drug or anti-viral treatment for between about 1 to 10 days, or between about 2 to 21 days, depending on dosing and conditions. If the patient is already infected but asymptomatic, because of this pre-vaccination (or pre-administration of the attenuated and/or the live infectious causative agent) treatment the patient will be free, or substantially free, of the infection but not yet endowed with complete or partial immunity. In other words, because of this pre-vaccination treatment there will be no virus, or substantially no virus, to replicate in vivo after the anti-viral treatment. After administration of the anti-microbial drug or treatment (optionally, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 or more days after a first anti-microbial drug or treatment is first administered) the vaccine is given (depending on the type of vaccine, this may be the first of a two or three injection process). In alternative embodiments, after the first dose of the vaccine or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection is given, the patient is treated at day 14 (or, optionally, on day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14) with an antibiotic or antiviral, for example, with a single preventative ivermectin and antibiotic drug combination (for example, using an antibiotic with anti-viral activity such as doxycycline or azithromycin), or ivermectin and doxycycline drug combination, or ivermectin and doxycycline and zinc drug combination, or ivermectin and azithromycin and zinc or any zinc salt, or any of these combinations with additional drugs or agent or adjuncts such as one or more vitamins, for example, vitamin B, C and/or D. In alternative embodiments, the drug combination administration is repeated every 14 days (or, optionally, every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 or more days) for several weeks until plasma ivermectin is detectable over the 14 days. In alternative embodiments, later, the drug combination administration is repeated every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 weeks or more.

In alternative embodiments, a second dose of the vaccine and/or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection, and optionally subsequent boosters, are carried out between the intermittent (for example, every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or up to 28 days) anti-microbial (for example, anti-viral) doses.

In alternative embodiments, combining vaccine or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection with initial then intermittent anti-microbial (for example, anti-viral) administrations as provided herein achieves:

-   -   virtual 100%, or substantial (for example, 95% or more)         infectious agent (for example, COVID-19) abolition or in vivo         clearance, which can be achieved by the anti-microbial (for         example, anti-viral) pre-vaccination treatment arm of methods as         provided herein;     -   prolonged immunity, which can be achieved by administration of         combined vaccine and intermittent anti-microbial (for example,         anti-viral) treatments as provided herein;     -   lack of novel virus replication in the patient, which can be         achieved by the anti-microbial (for example, anti-viral)         pre-vaccination treatment arm of methods as provided herein;     -   no in vivo infectious agent (for example, virus) mutation in         treated patients, as there is no or substantially no (for         example, 90% to 99% reduction in) replication;     -   no ‘Long Covid Syndrome’, because if there is no infectious         agent (or substantially no infectious agent) remaining in the         patient in vivo, then can be no “Long Covid Syndrome”;     -   no or minimal hospitalization, and no or substantially decreased         number of deaths from Covid-19, because if there is no active in         vivo infection there can be no progression to morbidity or         mortality;     -   inability or substantial decrease in risk for patients treated         using the combination methods as provided herein catch or be         re-infected with any strain nor any mutant strain, where         patients administered methods as provided herein are induced to         have combined immunity (by administration of a vaccine) and an         anti-viral response induced by administration of a drug or drugs         which are viral mutant agonists;     -   eradication of primary viral (for example, COVID-19) infection,         because patients administered methods as provided herein receive         anti-microbial (for example, anti-viral) treatment at the         beginning of therapy; and/or,     -   ideal long-term preventative therapy for the elderly with         senescent immunity by supporting waning antibody levels in the         elderly patient with anti-microbial (for example, anti-viral)         treatment as provided herein; and also in embodiments where         ivermectin is administered, having the added benefit of rosacea         improvement and prevention of scabies in aged-care facilities.

Increasing the dose of the intermittent ivermectin combination increases its anti-Covid-19 preventative power. In alternative embodiments, the dose is raised from between about 12 mg to about 36 mg, about 48 mg or about 60 mg, or the dose is raised progressively to 120 mg with few if any adverse effects. This will create a more prolonged circulating level. This is expected to be close to 100% at 4 weeks, but when combined with the vaccine could well prevent for up to 6 weeks or more. Hence, creating the possibility of reducing dosing to×7/year. Given the use of accompanying anti-viral drugs, even if the vaccine results in lower circulation of neutralizing antibody levels and so immunity, the risk of vaccine breakthrough infection will be minimal if at all possible. Hence, this combination of anti-viral treatment together with the vaccine would be ideal therapy for prevention of infection in the elderly population with senescent immune systems.

In alternative embodiments, any vaccine will benefit from practicing methods as provided herein, particularly the mRNA vaccines, which will benefit profoundly when combined with an effective anti-viral treatment.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provided herein comprise 1 to 10 days of treatment with an ivermectin-based (or ivermectin-comprising) combination, followed by (the first dose of) vaccination, and then every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 days, and later every 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 days (for example, every 7 days, then every 14 days), and later to 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 or 28 days (for example, every 7 days, then every 14 days, and later every 28 days), administer a higher dose of ivermectin, for example, 60 mg ivermectin for 4 weeks together with zinc or a zinc salt, doxycycline, vitamin D and vitamin C or other appropriate combinations. As long as one continues the anti-viral treatment based on the 60 mg ivermectin regimen, a vaccinated patient has both circulating antibodies for many months and cannot catch mutated virus (for example, COVID-19 agents), and therefore “vaccine breakthrough” will be prevented or substantially decreased and super infection with mutants will be prevented or substantially decreased.

In alternative embodiments, methods as provided herein, including for example the ivermectin, zinc or a zinc salt and doxycycline and optionally also an adjunct therapy (such as for example administering a vitamin such as vitamin C or D) is mutant agnostic. In alternative embodiments, because methods as provided herein, including for example the ivermectin combination therapy, functions and works using a different mechanism by prevention of replication within a cell, no mutants can affect its activity as has been shown by us in clinical practice in California, United States. Hence, the combination of an anti-viral with a vaccine as provided herein may be the best method of terminating the Covid-19 pandemic.

In alternative embodiments, the vaccination or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection administration may need to be repeated, for example, repeated at 6 or 12 month (or between about 1 (monthly) to 12 month) intervals, but it is of no great importance whether it is 6 months or 12 months because the second arm or the therapy as provided herein, the anti-viral arm, is on board to prevent any further infection and therefore any further mutation in vivo in the patient.

In alternative embodiments, even if a mutant or variant strain becomes the predominant viral agent in a community in the future necessitating that the vaccine and/or the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection be adjusted (or changed) to take in (be specific for) that new mutant or variant strain, the drug combination as provided herein, for example, the ivermectin, zinc or a zinc salt and doxycycline plus adjunct treatment, can remain the same as it is mutant agnostic. Hence, any vaccine produced by any institution can be supplemented with an anti-viral combination such that no individuals will catch any viral strains once the individual has begun this program (commenced receiving treatment regimens as provided herein.

The concept of ‘redundancy’ of treatment is significant here; in medicine, redundant treatment is one where the medication carries extra power to cure the condition. In the event that the treatment had to be terminated early (for example, due to an allergy developing) the built-in redundancy still delivers near (substantially) 100% cure because it was designed to carry extra power. Hence, the combination of the anti-viral treatment and vaccination as provided herein carries a high level of redundancy and thus can achieve a close to 100% success rate (or a substantially completely successfully cure rate).

Although alternative embodiments of methods as provided herein are best suited to prevent and treat a virus such as a coronavirus such as a Covid-19 infection, alternative embodiments have multiple other applications. For example, in alternative embodiments, with appropriate antivirals methods as provided herein are used to prevent influenza infections. In alternative embodiments, provided are methods comprising a treatment regimen of an influenza (or other viral) vaccine followed later by antiviral agents intermittently in once a week, 2 weekly, 3 weekly, 4 weekly or less frequently spaced intervals to prevent influenza mutants from re-infecting de novo susceptible elderly patients with senescent immune system where influenza infection causes the most mortality. Other exemplary antiviral combinations administered practicing methods as provided herein comprise use of hydroxychloroquine, for example, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc or a zinc salt.

In alternative embodiments, provided are methods comprising a treatment regimen for treating: dengue fever, Zika, HIV, hepatitis C, Ebola disease, SARS, MERS, polio, measles, chickenpox and other viral or retro-viral infections. Where current immunizations may not be adequately effective, the follow-on with intermittent antiviral therapy as provide by methods as provided herein gives extra power for the poor immune response combined with antivirals to have enough redundancy to make it clinically effective.

In alternative embodiments, provided are methods comprising use of antiviral compounds used singly or in multiple combinations, for example, antiviral compounds are administered singly or in multiple combinations, for example, before, at the time of vaccination, and/or after vaccination:

In alternative embodiments, the source of the administered inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection is from swab or sputum or other biological samples from an infected individual or patient. In alternative embodiments, the sputum or other biological sample from an infected individual or patient is diluted in a water or a saline prior to administrations.

In alternative embodiments, the administered inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection is attenuated (in other words, its ability to cause pathogenesis is completely, substantially or partially abrogated or diminished, for example is genetically deleted or diminished by genomic engineering).

In alternative embodiments, to generate an attenuated (e.g., completed inactivated) version of a causative agent of the infection to be administered, the causative agent of the infection is passaged multiple times in culture (or in vitro) or in an animal (or in vivo), where variants from each passage are selected for a phenotype and/or genotype that has diminished ability to cause pathogenesis.

In alternative embodiments, to generate an attenuated (e.g., completed inactivated, completely non-infectious) version of a causative agent of the infection to be administered, the causative agent of the infection is treated with radiation and/or a chemical. For example, the chemical can be iodine (for example, povidone-iodine or PVP-I, also known as iodopovidone, or BETADINE™, WOKADINE™, PYODINE™), or any complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone and iodine, alcohol and/or formalin.

In alternative embodiments, the causative agent of the infection is rendered inactive, or non-infectious, by exposing the causative agent of the infection to iodine or povidone-iodine or PVP-I (povidone is also known as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinon-polymere), also known as iodopovidone, or BETADINE™, WOKADINE™, PYODINE™, as in the production of nasodine (Firebrick Pharma Pty Ltd, Australia). Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide, and elemental iodine or triiodide (I³⁻); and it contains 10% povidone, with total iodine species equaling 10,000 ppm or 1% total titratable iodine, and it works by releasing iodine which results in the death of a range of microorganisms. In alternative embodiment, the causative agent of infection is mixed with PVP-I and water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol or glycerol.

In alternative embodiments, the attenuated, or inactivated, causative agent, or live causative agent, is administered with an adjuvant, where the adjuvant can comprise: an inorganic compound such as alum (e.g., potassium alum), an aluminium salt or aluminium hydroxide, aluminium phosphate, or calcium phosphate; an oil such as paraffin oil, propolis or Adjuvant 65; a bacterial product such as killed bacteria of the genus Bordetella or Mycobacterium or of the species Bordetella pertussis or Mycobacterium bovis; a plant saponin or soybean extract; a cytokine such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-2 or IL-12; Freund's complete adjuvant or Freund's incomplete adjuvant; and/or, an organic compound such as squalene.

In alternative embodiments, the attenuated, or inactivated, causative agent, or live causative agent, with or without an adjuvant, is administered by nasal spray or nebulizer, or orally for example by lozenge, tablet, capsule or geltab, or by subcutaneous injection, or intramuscularly (IM), or by suppository, or via an implant.

In alternative embodiments, attenuated viruses are made using a live attenuated codon-pair-deoptimized virus approach as described for example in Wang et al PNAS, Jul. 20, 2021, vol. 18 (29) e2102775118; or as described by Coleman et al. Science 320, 1784-1787 (2008), or Cheng et al J. Virol. 89, 3523-3533 (2015), or Gongalves-Carneiro, mBio 12, e02238-20 (2021).

For example, methods as provided herein comprise administration of the Wang et al, COVI-VAC™ attenuated virus, which was developed by recoding a segment of the viral spike protein with synonymous suboptimal codon pairs (codon-pair deoptimization), thereby introducing 283 silent (point) mutations. As described by Wang et al, synthetic highly attenuated live vaccine is generated by recoding portions of the WT SARS-CoV-2 genome according to the SAVE algorithm of codon-pair bias deoptimization. In addition, the furin cleavage site within the spike protein was deleted from the viral genome for added safety of the vaccine strain. Except for the furin cleavage site deletion, the COVI-VAC and parental SARS-CoV-2 amino acid sequences are identical, ensuring that all viral proteins can engage with the host immune system of vaccine recipients. Attenuated viruses can be generated from viral genomes recover from WT SARS-CoV-2, strain USA-WA1/2020 (GenBank accession No. MN985325).

In alternative embodiments, the inactivated or attenuated causative agent of the infection, or the live, viable or infectious causative agent of the infection, is administered in unit dosages of between about 10 to 50, or 1 to 20, trillion infectious units (or particles, if attenuated), or between about one infectious unit to 10, 20 or 30 billion infection units (or particles, if attenuated).
